Windows 10 [Free Upgrade?]

by Rickk • 1 Jun 2015, 13:36 • Journals
I just received a message that I'm able to upgrade my Windows (Currently 7) to Windows 10. Anyone else here who is using Windows 10 already? If yes...

- Is it any good?
- How does Windows 10 and games go together?
- What about the interface. Its easy to get used to or is it as shitty as windows 8?
- Is it worth downloading in general?

Also it says its free. Only have to give my e-mail adress and my download will reserved so I can install at any time.

I have no clue. Did some research . 29th of July is the release of Windows 10. But it seems that the update is only valid for 1 year after the release date. So at 29 July 2016 the update will expire.

Yeah, Windowss 10 is great. To be honest, I liked Windows 8 as well, but I could see people disliking Win8 liking Win10.

Except nvidia drivers crashing randomly, I see no problem with windows 10. Been using preview build since last 2 months or so. Intel chipset drivers are stable since last month. No issues so far.

The question is:

If I install win10 will I loose the data that I have now?

If you do clean install, yes. If you do update, no.

Clean install means u format and install and update means u just update the existing OS. So if you do update you would be fine. Just take image back up before you go for update in case if anything happens.

you can already download the preview from official source here: https://insider.windows.com/
Last build of the technical preview (not the enterpise version) is quite okay with exception of the web browser 'Edge' crashing sometimes.

Windows 10 will be better than windows 8 for sure. It will be allround (iot support).
It will also be available for pirated versions. So if you have an illegal version now, you can upgrade it for free to a legit version of windows 10 (only from windows 7 and up).
